Family-friendly

Recent Hipcampers say this Hipcamp is great for families and kids.

We love animals, plants, art, and outdoor recreation and love sharing these things with people! We found the perfect little plot for all of these things we love. Nature, art, animals, and lots of space! The hilly, lush land is also known as the Bohemie Alps and it's quite a beautiful area tucked away in Iowa. Visit with the llamas, goats, peacocks, potbelly pigs and the horses and hike around the property or stay in for a quiet stay with a good book and enjoy all the sights and sounds. Lots of extra 'add ons' to enhance the experience! Semi wooded property with hiking trails, hammocks, aerial silks, campfire pit. 5 mi away is Otter Creek Lake, a recreational park for fishing, kayaking, swimming, etc. We have 2 kayaks available. So much to do! Also perfect to just relax, meditate, yoga, sleep...

Llama Llama Sunrise Chalet

The cabin was very quaint and charming. There was adequate heat for the weather! Jessica was very helpful setting out wood chips over some fresh mud so we could get into the cabin easily. The cabin was beautiful and had gorgeous views of the farm, but it should be noted that this particular cabin has a lot of windows and there were no window treatments.

Queen Armadillo's Yurt

Jess is the most wonderful host. She is extremely interactive with her guests but only when engaged with. She also gave us a special goat pajama party for my friend as we were celebrating her birthday! I cannot recommend anyone more than Jess as a host and her wonderful property full of Easter eggs.

Lady Morphia's Castle on the Hill

Felt like a home away from home. The views from the cabin were spectacular. You feel almost like royalty staying there. The host were both friendly and informative and shared their wonderful knowledge of Hipcamp and ideas. Would recommend this place to anyone that enjoys the great outdoors and relaxing day or two away!

Lady Morphia's Castle on the Hill

This was a very cute cabin on a very well-loved property. The cabin was very clean and cozy. Unfortunately we did not last our entire planned weekend. The property was incredibly muddy — no doubt we would have had a different experience during a different time of year. The listing says there is a portable restroom or guest bath/shower for common use. The guest bath was quite a ways down the hill and wouldn’t be easily accessed without driving due to the mud. A map in the listing would be helpful. Not sure what I was expecting but the portable restroom really was a small porta potty. Was kind of incongruous with the setting. Slogging in the mud to get to a porta potty just wasn’t ideal for me. Additionally, the cabin has very steep stairs to the lofted bed. Our dogs were very nervous with them and my husband worried about them falling through the big gaps. I do appreciate dogs being allowed on the property though. The other cabins seemed a little difficult to access — we watched several other guests slog through the mud/snow without a clear path to their cabins/yurts. I also think some more communication in regards to locking the cabin and when add ons were going to be delivered would be helpful. Also know that you need to bring towels as there are only paper towels in the cabin. I think this place would be great at a different time of year with a little more preparation.

Sunrise with animals!

Llama Llama Sunrise Chalet

I really enjoyed the Llama Llama cabin. Wonderful view, clean space, and (of course) there are animals right by you! I went when the Garden pub was closed, so I think this place in spring- early fall is probably popping. The trail is smaller than I was expecting. Maybe a 15-30 min walk depending on how slow you wanna go. I'd recommend getting all of your extras ordered before arriving to the site. I'd also recommend bringing knives if you are gonna eat meat, maybe your own drinking water if you don't want the spigot water, clamps for moving things about the fire and tinfoil. It's a really nice place. Lots of games, books and movies are available so if you forget to bring something you won't be bored! Really enjoyed hanging by the goats and having peacocks say hello in the morning.
